Nourishing Minds: Help Fuel Learning in Our Classroom (2.0)

Help me give my students snacks, crackers, and pasta for the nutrition they need to get through the long day.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Kovach's classroom raised $376

My Project

In our classroom, students come ready to learn, explore, and grow—but hunger can be a real challenge. I’m seeking donations of healthy snacks to ensure my students have the nourishment they need to stay focused and engaged throughout the day. A well-fed student is a ready-to-learn student!

These requested items will provide my students with the energy and concentration needed to tackle lessons with enthusiasm.

When students don’t have to worry about being hungry, they can fully immerse themselves in learning, participate actively, and develop critical thinking skills.

My goal is to create a classroom where every child has the resources they need to succeed—starting with something as essential as food. By meeting this basic need, we can foster a positive learning environment where students feel supported, valued, and ready to achieve their full potential.

What makes my students special? They are hardworking, resilient, and eager to learn despite any challenges they may face. They come from diverse backgrounds, each bringing unique perspectives and strengths to our classroom community. With your help, we can ensure that every student has the foundation they need to thrive.

Your generosity can make a lasting difference—one snack, one meal, one student at a time. Thank you for supporting our classroom and investing in the success of our future leaders!
